ROBERT ALFRED TRIST Born in Dryden, Ontario, February 22, 1922, passed away peacefully into the loving arms of our Lord on Wednesday, September 12, 2007, after a brave and valiant struggle. Robert lived in California as a child and moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba as a young boy. He served in the infantry as a gunner during the Second World War. Upon his return from the war, he was employed with the Winnipeg School Board for 34 years. He moved to the West Coast to be closer to his daughter and granddaughters (Laura and Dana) in 1980. He will be greatly missed by his wife Sue of 59 years, his daughter Val Lymburner (Jack), his granddaughter Dana (whom he was so very proud) and great-grandsons Jacob (whom he loved ever so dearly) and Thomas. Robert (Grandpa) will be remembered for his generosity, sense of humour and dedication to his family. Dad, you were a brave soldier, now the battle is over and you can rest. You touched the hearts of many and were loved beyond words. No service by request. Laid to rest September 18, 2007 at Valley View Memorial Gardens, Surrey, BC.
